“Why will Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure harm its water infrastructure?”

As this article is being written the Russian state is bombing Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure. While this will cause power outages, it will also harm the nation’s water infrastructure.

This is Why Russia’s Attacks on Ukraine’s Energy Infrastructure Will Harm Its Water Infrastructure.
